Tempe is a traditional fermented food usually made from soybeans by Rhizopus sp. Recents publicationsmentioned that the major component was dietary fiber. One which has the capacity to lowering blood cholesterollevel. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of tempe diet on the lipid profile and cholesterolexcretion in rats. 45 male Sprague Dawley rats were used and divided into 3 groups of 15. Each group were fedan isocaloric and isoprotein diet contained different proportion of tempe (0%, 10%,20%,30% and 40%) for 4weeks. This experiment used completely randomized design.The result showed that tempe diet significantly reduced total cholesterol (12%), LDL-cholesterol (50%) andtriglyceride (50,36%) and increased HDL resulted in the higher cholesterol faeces excretion with were maximumvalue 11,9 mg/g (40% tempe) compared 5,4 mg/g (standar diet).Keywords: Tempe, diet, lipid profile, cholesterol excretion.

This community service activity is motivated by the importance of Strengthening digital communication capacity within environmental communities to support the sustainability of community-based environmental conservation movements. The MAT PECI Community (Indonesian Community for Ciliwung Care) as an active partner in conservation and education along the Ciliwung River still faces limitations in managing digital organizational communication, particularly in documentation, publication, and social media optimization aspects. This activity aims to enhance the capacity of community members in utilizing digital media as a means of communication, education, and environmental advocacy. The method used is Participatory Action Research with a participatory approach that involves the community actively from problem identification, planning, implementation, to evaluation. The program includes digital communication training, mentoring in social media content creation, basic photography and videography training, and the development of community digital publication strategies. The results show an increase in members’ understanding and skills in using social media, behavioral changes toward more structured documentation, greater awareness of the importance of digital communication, and the formation of a more directed organizational communication system. The findings indicate that strengthening community-based digital communication is effective in social empowerment and supports the sustainability of environmental conservation movements.

Cermets (ceramics embedded in a metal matrix) using depleted uranium dioxide (DUO2) and other ceramics embedded in a steel matrix are being investigated as materials of construction for (1) spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage, transport, disposal, and multifunction casks and (2) casks for gamma-emitting radioactive wastes. Cermets cask performance (capacity for a given weight limit, capacity for a given size limit, resistance to assault, etc.) may significantly exceed the performance of casks constructed of more traditional materials such as steel. The principal viability issue is manufacturing costs. A new powder metallurgy method for fabricating large casks has been invented (patents applied for) that may result in low fabrication costs. Its potentially favorable economics are a result of (1) a process that produces a near-final-form cask with a minimum number of processing steps and (2) the low cost of the starting materials.

Decision support system of credit giving is a computer-based information system that can be used as a tool for manager of the credit department to decide received  whether or not the loan application that submitted by customers. In the decision support system of credit giving uses principles of assessment called the 5 C. The 5 C are character, capacity, capital, collateral,  dan condition. Principles of  the 5 C will be taken for credit giving consideration. While preference for the weighting of criteria using Analytical Hierarchy Process. Overall, the existing process on the decision support system  of  credit giving is manager assigned the criteria, sub criteria, sub-sub criteria and the score. Then manager give preference of criteria to generate criteria weights. The data has been inputted by manager is used by staff of credit department  to perform the assessment so that can be produced a credit decision is received or rejected.
